Also a huge flag for me about LW: My previous boyfriends have treated me badly, and this is the first relationship where I’ve actually felt loved—it’s nice to have someone who is, in my boyfriend’s words, “crazy” about me.
This is a common thread in accounts of women who get into relationships with guys who abuse them. It's their first time feeling adored and loved and cherished - they're flattered by the jealousy and possessiveness, so they ignore the controlling, the surveillance, and the bad stuff. And over the course of years, the relationship goes toxic.
